Until there's a better way to manipulate XML I imagine XSLT will be around as a long as XML is... (and isn't XSLT ideally suited for parallel processing?) Slightly OT: I think the link below might be it, but I remember reading that chips are on the horizon that can take instructions from a single thread, identify which ones can be safetly run in parallel and then run them concurrently. That is, improve performance of a single threaded app by using hardware mutithreading: http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/chip_multi_thread.html Also, the new(ish) concurrency features is Java make writing multithreaded apps much easier, so win-win. -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
